Cooper Webb: “All week it’s so easy to think about the what if’s. Don’t to this, don’t do that. I was in a great situation with a nice points gap coming in, I think it was 19th or better if Kenny won, so unless something catastrophic happened I had a really good cushion,” Webb said. “I wanted to end the season on a high. I felt like in 2019 I won my championship and my nerves were high, I was stressed out. I learned from that and wanted to have fun throughout the day and enjoy it. It’s not every day you get to win a 450 championship, so I wanted to enjoy the little things.I think in Orlando was the beginning of it, but I think Daytona stamped it. Seeing the emotions that went into that, I kind of knew right then and there, that I got this guy Roczen beat. Obviously anything can happen. The mental side is the biggest part of our sport, in my opinion, so when I saw how things went down there, when I saw his reaction, I kind of knew in my head. I was right where I need to be, right in the thick of points, I was hitting my stride, and I was getting my confidence. I knew from there it was going to be a fight, it was going to be tough, but I felt like the momentum shifted there. It was like, ‘I’ve had this feeling before, let’s go for it again.’” Colt Nichols: “I tried to learn from last weekend. I played it a little too conservative, I got a horrible start last weekend. I didn’t want to do that again. I was really focused on the start and wanted to get out front and see what happened. Jett Lawrence was riding really well, but I think I was holding my own pretty well. I straight up wanted to win that race. I felt solid, I felt strong. I didn’t really know the situation, who was on me, but my mechanic gave me the board and said, ‘Let him by and try to stick with him.’ I had no idea what was even going on, to be honest, but I knew I was probably in second at that point. I tried to make a little bit of a push at the end but I came up short. I really wanted to win that race and I was a little bummed I didn’t, but in the big picture, it was cool to be on the podium nine times out of nine. I just tried to treat it like any other race. I feel like I fumbled a little bit last weekend, and I didn’t want to do that again. I was going to Costa Rica to make $500 a weekend to race to keep me afloat during the week. It’s been a road, that’s for sure. It wasn’t the path I thought I was going to take, but it was the path that was meant for me. It built a little bit of character, that’s for sure. It the championship didn’t really hit me until I was rolling through the rhythm there at the end. 250 East Coat Supercross champion, that’s a pretty damn cool feeling, and something I don’t want to forgot. I want to come back next year and do it again, that’s going to be the goal.” Justin Cooper: “I felt good all day, and I even got the holeshot in the heat, but Hunter Lawrence ran me off the track. That got the heart rate going. I just tried to stay calm through that and wanted to go straight to the main. I didn’t want to go to the LCQ. I got the pit board saying I was in P9, and I think I ended up eighth. I didn’t execute the start, I was on the outside, and I didn’t feel the need to get to the front,” Cooper explained. “It wasn’t really a race I wanted to be a part of. There were a lot of battles going on in front of me and the guys were getting pretty aggressive. I hung back, did my own laps, and stayed out of trouble. I knew I was in a good position to win and I didn’t want to throw it away. When you’re mid-pack like that a lot can happen if you’re trying to move through the pack. I was pretty content with where I was. If I’d have gotten a better start it would have been a different story, but given where we were, I settled in and did my laps.”
